Abstract
Neutron and γ-ray absorbed dose distributions near a 252Cf needle source have been measured in a large tissue-equivalent liquid phantom using very thin, parallel plate, tissue-equivalent and aluminium gas multiplication ionization chambers. The results are in substantially better agreement with recently calculated values than with previously published measurements.Keywords
